Just like he did on the last episode of Raw before this show, Vince McMahon came to the ring and announced the Nitro major title: the WWF World Heavyweight Championship and stated the rules of the tournament: Sixteen superstars from the Raw brand would compete in a bracket-style tournament and the great winner would be the first WWF World Heavyweight Champion. The final of this tournament would occur just in the next show.
